I crossed off three things from my 101 Things list in April.

50. Visit Deniece in Tampa

I’m leaving tonight after work! The only city I’ve been to in Florida is Panama City, so I’m looking forward to seeing a different part of the state. My roommate is driving me to the metro around 5:45 when she gets home, so I estimate I’ll be inside the airport and checked-in by 6:15. My flight takes off at 7:20. I’m hoping since it’s a Tuesday night, there won’t be too many delays. I’ve had to run to catch flights before (on more than one occasion, actually), and it’s never fun.

I’ve known Deniece since I was 11, so like any good childhood friend, she was with me through the very worst of my pre-teen awkward stage (big glasses, braces, pimples, etc.). We went to the same church, our mothers were friends, and both of us were home-schooled — so we had quite a bit in common. Deniece and I can go for multiple months without talking, but as soon as we do, we understand each other. She gets me. It’s a good thing.

15. Do not go online for 3 consecutive days

Deniece doesn’t have internet access at home, so I’m taking this opportunity to go web-free for a few days. I am taking my laptop, but it’s because I have posts to work on and I’d rather type them on a keyboard than deal with a pen and paper. Anything new you see here this week was prepared in advance and set to post at a designated future time (gotta love technology!).

87. Take a class that features something I’ve never done before
I started a belly dancing class this month! I’m now halfway through the 8-week course.
